did you reformat? if you did, you can find the exact driver to the internet. find the motherboard type you can see it on the motherboard.it always type with bold letters.then search in the internet.

You may have to install the new drivers for your Realtec '97 Audio device from Realtek: The file name is WDM_A400.exe. You can google it to find it.
You can also (recommended) try to download the audio drivers from www.hp.com

Setup Soundcard driver from Motherboard CD. or Download driver from Internet and setup, hope it will work.
Thanks

Well, you can't really download a sound card. :-)

But you can download the driver for the audio chip on your motherboard.

Go to this site:

GA-8SG800 Drivers

Download and install the Audio driver.

Thanks for using Fixya.

you need a driver for your sound card. If it is integrated sound it will be oart of your chipset driver. If it is a PCI soundcard, go to the manufacturers website and download the driver

When you install the sound card drivers, they disable ALL motherboard sound functions, and enable them on the sound card, meaning you can do the same things, with better quality, you just need to connect everything to the soundcard or it won't work. SO then you cannot connect any sound to the front of the computer anymore, but a soundcard should have plenty of connections on the back side of the PC.

From what I understood from your story, you switched cassette players AND installed a sound card. If I were you I'd first install the sound card drivers, then try to play audio with the old cassette player, and see wether that works. If it does, your new cassette player has another (if at all) output than the old one. Then you'll just have to use the old one. If it does not work, your soundcard is the problem, which seems a bit odd. Soundcards are usually meant to do more than on-board sound, not less. I'd contact your manufacturer and ask wether it's normal this doesn't work, or that the card's broken.

I hope this helps,
Yannick.

You need to download the drivers after downloading.
Proceed from here:
Compaq Presario V2000
Follow instructions and download all driver software for your model.

Run driver installer files after downloading.

If you can afford a soundcard place this in the pc and disable the onboard soundcard as this onboard soundcard requires updates from the manufatures website plus download the latest updates for motherboard this is the only help I can give on this problem.

best of luck in sorting your sound problems
